AudioChannelMix

AudioChannelMix[audio]

mixes channels of audio by averaging and returns a center-panned stereo audio object.

AudioChannelMix[audio,desttype]

mixes audio channels into the specified desttype.

Details

  • The following destination type desttype can be specified for an m channel audio object:
  • "Mono"mono signal, using the average channel value
    {"Mono",{w1,…,wm}}mono signal, using a weighted average
    "Stereo"stereo signal, using the average value and center panning
    {"Stereo",{w1,…,wm}}stereo signal, using weighted average and center panning
    {"Stereo",{w1,…,wm},{p1,…,pm}}stereo signal, using weighted average and specified panning
    nn-channel signal, evenly distributing the m input channels
    {n,mat}n-channel signal, using an arbitrary m×n distribution matrix mat
  • In the distribution matrix mat, the element wij is the amount of input channel i that goes into the output channel j.
  • The given weights wi can be given as scalar multipliers or in decibels.
  • A scalar multiplier wi is equivalent to in decibels.
  • For "Stereo" mixing, sinusoidal panning is used.
  • The AudioType of the returned object is either "Real32" or "Real".

Basic Examples  (1)

Convert mono audio to stereo:

Downmix stereo audio to mono:

Scope  (4)

When downmixing to mono, the average of all input channels is used by default:

Specify the weights assigned to the input channels:

When mixing to stereo, the average of all input channels is replicated on both output channels by default:

Use different weights for each input channel:

By default, all input channels are center panned. Specify the amount of panning for each input channel:

Create a three-channel signal by evenly mixing all input channels:

Specify all weights using a distribution matrix:

Specify weights in decibels:

Applications  (2)

Conform the number of channels of a list of audio objects without using padding:

Distribute a mono Audio object to an arbitrary number of output channels:

Properties & Relations  (3)

Downmix a signal to a single channel using audio arithmetics:

If no weights are specified, the average of the input channels is replicated on all output channels:
